The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Stand-up comedy is an art form and it dies unless you expand it.
With stand-up, there's a little bit of an exaggerated reality because things have to be manipulated to create comedy, to create jokes.
Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.
Ultimately, I just decided stand-up comedy is a huge commitment, and if you want to be the best, you have to give it one hundred per cent.
Coming from the Midwest, I didn't know about stand-up as an art. I just thought stand-up comedians were old men in suits talking about their wives.
Standup comedy is inordinately difficult. If doing something else for a living will make you equally happy, choose that instead. I'm serious. Comedy is punishing.
There's an art to comedy.
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.
I loved comedy all my life. I think it's a real powerful art form.
Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form.
